Getting started with FTP or Dreamweaver

The main method of publishing content to your site is FTP, though other development environments such as Dreamweaver also work. Our servers do not support SFTP, but we do allow scp for those needing an encrypted connection to the files stored on our server. You should have received an email with the specific settings for your account, which looks something like:

FTP Host Name: ftp.hosting.easystreet.com

User Name: yourdomain.tld

Password: provided on your User Account Info sheet.

Web pages go into the public folder.

Note: If using Dreamweaver, you will need to specify public for the remote directory.

FTP Clients for users on Mac or Linux

If you are using Macintosh, your favorite FTP client should work fine using the above settings. If you do not currently have an FTP client, you may want to check outCyberduck.

If you are using Linux, we’ve seen some users have trouble using the FTP that comes as part of their OS build. NCFTP client works well on multiple Linux versions.

Advanced FTP options

Plus and higher accounts also come with additional FTP features

• Adding FTP Users: This can be used for an FTP-dropbox type of account where users can both upload and download files using a regular FTP program. They are locked into the directory you specify at the time you create their account. This type of account may also be used if you have a department within your company that wants to manage their portion of the web site without having access to the rest of the web site content.Usernames will be in the format username.yourdomain.com.
• Enabling anonymous FTP: Make files available to your customers for download by enabling anonymous FTP for your site. File upload is not allowed. Files are available for download via a url such asftp://ftp.yourdomain.com/yourdomain.com/
